PERSIC0 LAUDS IRELAND.
THE LAST REPORT RECEIVED BY
THE POPE.

All Danger that the Vatican Would Be
Influenced Against Home Rule
Passed-The Debate on the Land Bill
Continued e. Salisbury Denounces
Gladstone.
BosToN, July 27,-John Boyle O'Reilly
has just received from the Pilots special
correspondent Mt Rome the following cable
gram: "The last report from Mgr. Persico,
the Pope's representative in Ireland, has
been received at the Vatican and is most
laudatory of the Irish people. Mgr Per-
sico was sent to Ireland June 81 to examine
into the social and political condition
of the Irish. English intriguers
at Rome expected that Mgr
Persico would look through the Duke of
Norfolk's eyes and send such a report to
Rome as would once for all estrange the
peoples sympathies from the cause of Irish
home rule. Their malice has defeated it
self. To question Mgr. Persico's accuracy
of Judgment is to insult the Pope,
so they are shared i'll trap of their own
devising"
Mgr. Persico is well known in the United
States, having successfully administered the
diocese of Charleston, S. c., and been
Bishop of Savannah. He has successfully
conducted many exceedingly delicate diplo-
matte missions for the Pope, whose un-
bounded confidence he enjoys.
